Chapter 34 Figured it out
Yi Chongyuan didn’t think much, but Ye Xin paused while pouring tea: “Yes, Master, you can now… raise a child.”
"This palace..." Yi Chongyuan wanted to say, "If this palace has a child, do you still need to tell me?"
Suddenly she paused, and she finally figured it out.
"What do you mean?" Yi Chongyuan sat up straight.
"It is said that Concubine Yi might have taken one away. But now the Emperor is tired of Concubine Feng, and Concubine Yi is close to Concubine Feng. Not to mention the Emperor, I'm afraid Concubine Feng would not approve of her raising a child. Concubine Jin already has a princess. She is not favored, so I'm afraid she won't give her another child."
"Among the nine concubines, Song Zhaoyi and you are the only two who don't have children. There is also Kang Chongyi." Lian Xin analyzed: "I think that although Kang Chongyi has been out of favor for many years, she has been quiet since the eldest prince passed away. The emperor usually doesn't treat her well, but now he promotes her. Could it be that he wants her to raise a child?"
"If it's her, you won't be able to argue with her, after all, you still have the affection of the eldest prince. As for the other one, is it for you or Concubine Song?"
Yi Chongyuan leaned back and said, "Tomorrow, let's send some supplements to An Baolin."
"Yes." Lianxin responded with a smile.
As long as there is a child, even if it is a princess, it will be different.
Isn't it a living example that Concubine Jin, who had never been favored for ten thousand years, could become Concubine Jin? Favor is only temporary, but offspring are permanent.
"Master, what about Wei Yunu?" Lian Ye asked.
"She is of humble origin, how could she be worthy of our master's efforts to win her over?" Lian Xin said.
Yi Chongyuan didn't say anything, but she meant the same thing.
Ye Xin just stopped talking. In fact, no matter what the biological mother is like, the child is the same, right?
Early the next morning, everyone gathered their strength for a long time, but the main person, Li Xiaoyi, did not come.
When the Queen came out to explain, "The Emperor just sent a message to exempt Li Xiaoyi from paying respects today."
Everyone's faces looked even uglier.
"Over the years, we have seen women become spoiled because of their pampered status. Li Xiaoyi is one of them." Concubine Ning said.
"Alas, I can't compare to her. She is in the prime of her life." Concubine Jin said.
"The daughter of the Duke of Qi is well-educated." Concubine Feng smiled and said, "I think there is nothing to do today, so I will go back first. The Queen needs a good rest now."
"Well, let's go if it's okay." The queen waved her hand.
Lu Xiaoyi stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I made a few bellybands and wanted to show them to you."
"Then you stay for a while," said the queen.
Everyone's looks at her had different meanings, but Lu Xiaoyi didn't care.
"Lu Xiaoyi is such a sensible person, which makes us seem immature." Concubine Feng said this and left.
People went out one after another.
After returning to Cuiyunxuan, Shen Chuliu asked Zirui to take out the tea set and sit in the yard to brew the best Pu'er tea.
She used a set of white porcelain tea sets, and the tea soup was in the tea set like fine red wine.
It is also a kind of enjoyment.
Yao Baolin praised: "Chu Liu's tea art is quite good."
"When the tea is good, it shows that the craftsmanship is good." Shen Chuliu took a sip and said with a smile.
"This tea is a gift from the emperor, so it must be good." Yao Baolin also took a sip.
"Yes, in this harem, everyone wants the emperor's reward. Isn't that good?" Shen Chuliu chuckled: "Li Xiaoyi received the emperor's reward, so she doesn't have to pay respects. Isn't that just as good?"
"The emperor won't like her if she becomes spoiled like this," Yao Baolin said.
"That may not be the case. The emperor has seen all kinds of beauties. Maybe he likes those who are more pretentious now." Shen Chuliu said.
"But this must only be temporary. How can it last forever?"
"Some people are eager to have a child, some are eager to be favored. People like me just want to watch the show. But there are many people who can't sit still. Isn't Lu Xiaoyi the one who can't sit still?" Shen Chuliu said.
"The Queen is pregnant, and this is her chance. Naturally, she can't sit still." Yao Baolin said with a smile.
"Sister, guess who will sleep with you next time?" Shen Chuliu asked mischievously.
"This... should be you, Chu Liu, right?" Yao Baolin was uncertain.
"Maybe. I'm not in a hurry. By the way, after Wei Yunu's fetus was saved, she stopped going out. It seems that she can give birth safely." Shen Chuliu said.
"I'm afraid no one dares to do it for the time being. She is already three months pregnant, so she must be pregnant. I just don't know who will take care of her baby when the time comes." Yao Baolin wondered.
"No one is trying to win her over openly, but who knows what's going on in secret. Anyway, I think Kang Chongyi must have one." Shen Chuliu said.
Yao Baolin nodded: "My sister and I think the same thing. It depends on what others think."
For several days in a row, the emperor did not enter the harem.
On August 20th, the name card was turned over and it turned out to be Shen Chuliu.
Shen Chuliu dressed up early because she was not only going to turn over the cards, but also to serve the pens and ink.
In the afternoon she went to Taiji Palace, wearing a white skirt with embroidered emerald green pattern, and a light green long gown over it.
She wore a necklace made of plain silver inlaid with emerald cat's eye.
The loser's double spiral bun was embellished with silver cat's eye jewelry of the same color. The embroidered shoes were decorated with emerald gemstones.
When the weather gets cold, I don’t bring a fan with me.
The girl smiled and bowed: "Long live the emperor."
"Well, get up." Qi Yixiu was always in a good mood whenever he talked to her.
"My beloved is like the last lotus leaf in the lotus pond today." Light emerald green.
"I am very pleased that the emperor praises me. But I think I am more beautiful than that lotus leaf." Shen Chuliu came over.
"Aren't you ashamed?" Qi Yixiu laughed at her.
Shen Chuliu stuck out her tongue: "Your Majesty!"
"Okay, is your lunch enough? If not, eat some snacks first, so that you won't have too much energy to grind ink later." Qi Yixiu said.
"That's enough. Your Majesty, just give me some tea. Are there too many government affairs today?" Shen Chuliu said with an attitude of "I can definitely get what your Majesty wants."
Qi Yixiu smiled and looked at Shen Chuliu who seemed to be about to do something big: "Come."
As soon as Shen Chuliu came over, she was held in her arms: "My beloved concubine, are you so capable?"
"Well, maybe I did it. Your Majesty, please don't underestimate me." Shen Chuliu said.
"What have you been doing these days?" Qi Yixiu pinched her smooth face.
Today she didn't put on any eyeliner, and her eyes looked pure and beautiful.
"Nothing much, just reading a book and drinking tea, I don't know how the time went by. The emperor is too busy, and he can tell you what he did after he's done. I guess I don't have much to do, so I can't tell you what I did."
